1. A method for disseminating video data to a user, the video data derived from a set of raw sensor data, the method comprising:

  • processing the set of raw sensor data into a first set of video data, the first set of video data comprising a first sequence of video frames, each video frame in the first sequence of video frames having a first video frame size;

    providing at least a portion of the first set of video data for presentation on a video display interface;

    receiving one or more user input values; and

    generating a second set of video data comprising a second sequence of video frames, a number of video frames in the second sequence of video frames corresponding to respective ones of a number of video frames in the first sequence of video frames and having a second video frame size, the second video frame size less than the first video frame size, and the center of each video frame in the second sequence of video frames positioned at an offset from the center of the corresponding video frame in the first sequence of video frames, the offset determined from the one or more user input values, the offset for a first frame in the second sequence of video frames different from the offset for a second frame in the second sequence of video frames, wherein;

    receiving the one or more user input values includes receiving at least one user input value that specifies a pan path, the pan path comprising a sequence of offsets between corresponding pairs of video frames in the first sequence of video frames and the second sequence of video frames;

    processing the set of raw sensor data into a first set of video data includes processing imaging data, the imaging data comprising a plurality of temporally sequential frames of images that were captured at one or more frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum by a camera, the camera pointed towards the Earth to capture images of a portion of a surface of the Earth;

    receiving at least one user input value that specifies a pan path includes receiving a number of coordinates that define a geographic region of interest on the surface of the Earth; and

    receiving a number of coordinates that define a geographic region of interest includes receiving a latitude value and a longitude value for one or more locations defining the geographic region of interest on the surface of the Earth.
